Best of Preps

For the second year, Patriot Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Chandler is going to provide a brand new Jeep Renegade for the Patriot Student of the Year to a student from one of 11 participating high schools in the area.

The Patriot Auto Group is teaming up with The Shawnee News-Star to recognize the area’s best student.

During the school year, two students of the month will be selected by an impartial panel of judges based off nominations from administrators at the school. Those 16 students will be finalists to win the Patriot Student of the Year award and one will drive home in a new car after the May 6, 2019, News-Star third annual Best of Preps banquet at FireLake Arena. The remaining 15 students will win scholarships.

Each month administrators at area high schools will submit a nomination for a senior who has an excellent grade point average, displays community leadership qualities, is an active volunteer and displays high moral integrity.

The Students of the Month will be selected by a handful of judges from the community.

Additional sponsors of the program include Miracle Ear and the Citizen Potawatomi Nation.
